I support the following: animal and LGBTQ rights, the environment, the National Organization of Rare Disorders and Alzheimer's Association. I believe that all human beings are worthy of compassion and deserve respect not humiliation.

In Minnesota, we are all too familiar with false spring. You think maybe winter’s finally over...until the cold snaps back, sometimes even harder.
That’s what this moment feels like. You may hear that ICE is “leaving", but they’re shifting, spreading out.
Don’t mistake a brief thaw for safety.

Eight years ago a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School stole 17 lives from us.
I’m proud that survivors turned grief into a movement to #EndGunViolence. We must honor them by enacting sensible reforms to save lives.

It's our diversity don't ya know that makes us great!
What is it about Minnesota that made it a target for Trump’s ICE crackdown?
The Democratic-leaning midwestern state where federal agents killed two citizens is in many ways anathema to the administration

People are asking what they can do to help Minnesota. Come to our state, because it’s a beautiful place. Meet our people. Support our small businesses. Take in a concert. For months, Minnesotans showed the world that we are all neighbors. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand.
